Building Team Effectiveness

There are a number of situations where a team needs to step back and look at how it is operating in order to prove its effectiveness. This can include the following:

A newly established team usually needs help in understanding how it is going to go forward.

The integration of new people into a team frequently requires a fresh look at how the group of individuals will work together.

In establishing and achieving goals, there is often a need for teams to understand their individual and collective values and personal styles as well as the impact these have on the team’s effectiveness.

Specific aspects of team effectiveness can need addressing. For example, a top management team seeking to initiate cultural change within an organization needs to identify its own values as a collective and the values of its individual members.

Leading Point Process

Leading Point’s work with teams is built around a model of effectiveness which evaluates a team’s goals, processes, relationships and roles. In our view, for successful interventions, teams need to address each of these dimensions. Additionally, our work seeks to create real change in teams by:

Operating a series of interventions to ensure change is properly embedded in the workings of the team.

Seeking to provide individuals with insights into themselves and others.

Identifying and defining actions and carefully monitoring their progress.
